Interesting People

People are unique and everyone is interesting. I love to photograph people who are a little unusual, or who are doing something entertaining or captivating. If you want to see a variety of people, and have the opportunity to photograph many of them, just hang around a busy location with a camera and large lens on a tripod. Nearly everyone has to stop, ask what you are photographing, how big is that lens, how much did it cost, and a variety of other questions. After all that, how can they say no if you want a photo of them?

This fellow is one of a series of people who climbed out on this point to take photographs or site-see. They were either unaware or not concerned about the degree of undercut below the rock on which they were standing. To get out there they needed to squeeze around the pine tree after stepping over several of the roots along the path. Not for me!
